A COMPLETE SUITE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC CAE

, One step ahead

FLUX

>>>

FLUX is Finite Element software for electromagnetic and thermal simulation, both in 2D and 3D. FLUX handles the

design and analysis of any electromagnetic device. Based on 25 years' experience, FLUX is reliable and accurate.

Transformer: Flux density in the magnetic core under PWM controlled supply.

ABS brake sensor: Device and flux density distribution.

Ease and Efficiency

>>>

Multiparametric analysis, Extensive import capabilities (STEP , IGES...), Mixed mesh generator, Users subroutines to extend FLUX models, MATLAB Simulink direct co-simulation.

Analysis of a universal motor: Flux density distribution. Computation of the characteristics under rated conditions.

Accuracy and Performance

>>>

Static, harmonic and transient states, Advanced circuit coupling, Kinematic coupling (linear and rotating motion),

FLUX software is controlled and developed under

Quality Assurance procedures according to EDF (French Historical Power Supplier) standards.

Magnetothermal analysis of a crankshaft: Power density distribution.

FLUX STUDIO DEDICATED APPLICATIONS nde CIVA NON DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION

Dedicated models

FLUX STUDIO
>>>

FLUX STUDIO is a software package based on FLUX and consisting of a project manager allowing to parameterise
(vary any parameter), solve and postprocess already defined models. All its features (dedicated online help, complete database of models, one click parameterisation) make FLUX STUDIO the ideal tool for: Transferring the competencies to non FE-specialists, Delivering consulting results through an interactive model, Teaching and demonstrating the influence of parameters...

FLUX STUDIO belongs to the policy of dedicated tools

development engaged by CEDRAT.

Part of a switch gear: Geometry and flux density. Parameterised model in FLUX STUDIO.

State of the art simulation software for Non Destructive Evaluation >>>

CIVAnde is a unique solution to simulate, postprocess (imaging and analysis) and compare virtually any type of ultrasonic and eddy current non destructive evaluation (NDE) device or process. Due to the method used and its high level of integration, CIVAndes simulations are intrinsically fast. Totally dedicated to NDE simulation, CIVAnde features many tools and models to speed the analysis up: Predefined transducers including phased array features, Parameterised geometries, CAD coupling capabilities, Materials database, Built-in post-processing tools Those numerous tools make CIVAnde easy-to-use even for non-NDE experts.
Ultrasonic NDE: Immersed phased array over an irregularly shaped piece, with adapted delay laws. Eddy current NDE: Impedance change due to a crack.

MOTOR-CAD - SPEED

ELECTRIC MOTOR DESIGN

MOTOR-CAD

, Thermal

Optimisation of Motors

>>>

MOTOR-CAD is the most advanced motor design software

specifically designed to simplify the complexity of thermal analysis. The thermal models of MOTOR-CAD are based on lumped-circuit analysis providing instantaneous results. Both permanent and transient thermal behaviour (duty-cycle) can be analysed. A valuable graphical feedback (geometry, schematic diagram, graphs), associated with numerous sophisticated cooling methods (spiral grooves, liquid cooling, through ventilation...) makes MOTOR-CAD a comprehensive and powerful tool to analyse the thermal behaviour of motors and speed up size reduction processes.

Axial and radial cross section editors.

>>>

SPEED is the most advanced software dedicated to electric

motors electromagnetic pre-dimensioning.

SPEED offers numerous templates to help the user to define

the geometry, the winding scheme as well as the drive and control to get characteristic quantities such as torque, speed, phase current and voltages, losses Thanks to a complete library (type of motor, slots and bars, winding scheme, drive), a full motor can be quickly and easily sized by setting the different parameters in the templates.

Tiled window including outline, template and winding editors, as well as simulation graphs.

SPEED and MOTOR-CAD are the ideal complements to FLUX to determine the general geometry, winding
scheme and drive of a motor, as well as its electromagnetic and thermal behaviour.
